Created attachment 902326 [details] elantech-right-click-fw_361f05.patch I'm not a programmer, but the attached patch adds an exception and fix the problem. Works fine here.
Hi Elder, Thanks for reporting this and thanks for the patch. It is also great that you've added an evemu-record log, very useful! Looking at: http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/vostro-5470/pd your laptop really does have a clickpad, so it is weird that it actually reports right clicks for the right bottom area, no other elantech clickpad does this. Even though it reports right clicks, otherwise your clickpad does still very much behave as a clickpad, ie it reports finer movements in the bottom area, which can typically lead to mis-clicks due to the pointer moving slightly before the click, or to a click being wrongly seen as a click + drag. Thus I would like to keep reporting these devices as clickpads to userspace, so that userspace can filter out touches starting in the bottom area (you can still use the entire pad to move around if a touch starts outside the bottom area). I've created a slightly different patch which should also fix your problem, while it keeps reporting your touchpad as a clickpad to userspace. I'll attach the patch here, can you please build a kernel with this patch, and give it a test ? Thanks & Regards, Hans
Created attachment 902474 [details] [PATCH] elantech: Deal with clickpads reporting right button events
Hi Hans, Yes, the patch fix my problem! Thank you very much! And you are right, it looks like the Dell Vostro 5470 has two separate buttons under the pad. But the right click only work if I click a little more strongly on the bottom right. Otherwise, the pad reports a left click.
(In reply to Elder Marco from comment #6) > Hi Hans, > > Yes, the patch fix my problem! Thank you very much! That is good to hear. I've send the patch upstream. If it gets a positive review there I'll also add it to the Fedora kernels. > And you are right, it looks like the Dell Vostro 5470 has two separate > buttons under the pad. But the right click only work if I click a little > more strongly on the bottom right. Otherwise, the pad reports a left click. I assume the above is no longer true with my patch ? Since with my patch it does not matter which of the 2 buttons gets triggered, as long as the finger doing the clicking is in the bottom right area, correct ? Regards, Hans
In hindsight, I really have too much on my todo list and need to put my priorities elsewhere, sorry. Josh, can you add the attached patch to the Fedora kernel builds and then close this bug please ?
No, it's true. And it is a strange behavior, I know. The bottom right area acts as a left button if I click more slightly (not pressing the button under the pad), but acts like a right button if I click more strongly, that is, I get a right click If I press the button under the pad). It's also occurs with the patch that I have attached. Is this right? Thank you! No problem.

Ah I see, yes this is right soft clicks (so a click which does not trigger the button under the pad) are called taps and a single finger tap always emulates a left button click. For a right click using tapping use a 2 finger tap. Regards, Hans
Hehe,thanks. First time using a clickpad... :) Solved! Waiting for the kernel update.
Patch applied. Thanks Hans.
